The negative response of the public to Wild Games Studio
invoking a takedown notice over
TotalBiscuit's Day One Garry's Incident review has resulted in the
publisher rescinding this claim, and the
original scathing review
is once again available for all to see.
Kotaku has the following statement from Wild Games Studio on the matter
(thanks nin):
We sent TotalBiscuit a Steam key on September 26th, giving
him permission to evaluate Day One: Garry’s Incident.
Monetizing wasn’t mentioned in our communications and it was an error on our
part to not have clarified the issue.
It was for that particular fact that Wild Games Studio had asked the video’s
removal.
After the video was made unavailable, we have taken seriously the reaction from
the community concerning freedom of expression.
We strongly believe in the freedom of expression of people and medias and have
removed our copyright claim.
Wild Games Studio didn’t intend on preventing anyone from using their right to
freedom of expression.
For this reason, Wild Games Studio sincerely apologizes to TotalBiscuit and
anyone who felt that their freedom of speech was denied.
